A. Similar - SAS
B. Cannot be determined
C. Similar - SSS
D. Similar - AA

B. Cannot be determined

Explanation:

We can't use SAS since we don't have two pairs of proportional sides. We only know one pair of sides. This also rules out SSS as well since we'd need 3 pairs of proportional sides.

We can't use AA because we don't have two pairs of congruent angles.

Currently, we simply don't have enough information to determine if the triangles are similar or not.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

complete the steps to find the area of the trapezoid.

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units
